@_ItsMissBre asked the Ladies to tell her their worst date. Plenty of dudes responded, too of course. They never hold back. What’s surprising is how many of these awful date stories are actually pretty in retrospect.

You need a little distance to appreciate someone being a total ding-dong and wasting your time and energy and maybe even peeing in front of you in a parking lot (yeah, that happened). Terrible dates at least usually end up as good stories. Read these and be glad you’re on the Internet and not at an Applebee’s with some Tinder guy right now.

He very seriously and soberly told me that he wanted a stay-at-home wife who would make him bento boxes for lunch every day and give him two children, a boy and then a girl. We were both seventeen. https://t.co/pVf51NfaaU

Back in uni – We were meeting for dinner at a casual restaurant (Pei Wei) so I showed up in jeans and a cute top + jacket combo. He criticized the fact that I did not wear a dress. "Women wear dresses." Didn't let it go and asked for a do-over date so I'd wear a dress. No way! ???? https://t.co/BV2UYQjvia

Planned this incredibly romantic *third* date with a table for two at an exclusive Beverly Hills restaurant. She asked if we could skip dessert because she had to go meet her boyfriend at 10:30 downtown. https://t.co/e7kUGKJuYZ

A guy spent all of dinner telling me about his ex-girlfriends and how after each break-up he had to move out of their place and move back home. Then he asked how big my apartment was. https://t.co/XgbDwzzHhO

I met him on a dating site. He showed me all of the girls that was talking to him. He kept talking about his ex. How much she messed him up. He was on his phone all through the date. Then he told me that he had to leave, because he had another date. https://t.co/wQxTvM8Irf
